. San Diego Chargers. 23. team. 13. . 5-6

Quite an impressive win for the San Diego Chargers over the Houston Texans. Of course it helps when Texans quarterback Brock Osweiler throws three interceptions.

Nevertheless, San Diego came out of its bye week and managed to put up 21 points over a tough Texans defense. And the Chargers’ own defense ensured Osweiler would stay in his season-long funk.

Quarterback Philip Rivers’ three touchdowns against one interception ensured no one on San Diego would force a loss, which has been the case for such an self-inflicted-wound team this year.

The Chargers might have a good offense, but their defense won’t have the luxury of playing Osweiler every week. They host the red-hot Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 13.
